Numbers 32:4-6

Contemporary English Version

^3-4 “The Lord has helped us capture the land around the towns of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon. That's good pastureland, and since we own cattle and sheep, ⁵ would you let us stay here east of the Jordan River and have this land as our own?”

⁶ Moses answered:

You mean you'd stay here while the rest of the Israelites go into battle?
